Denying Rumours About Lifetime Golden Visas in the UAE
The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) has denied rumours about the United Arab Emirates granting lifetime Golden Visas to specific nationalities. Such information was circulated in some media outlets without accuracy.
Official Regulations on Golden Visas
ICP has clarified that the categories, conditions, and regulations for obtaining a Golden Visa are clearly defined by official laws, legislations, and ministerial decisions. Interested individuals can find the official information on the Authority’s website or smart application.
Application Process
All Golden Visa applications are handled solely through the UAE’s official government channels. No internal or external consultancy is authorised in the application process.
False Claims Addressed
Recent claims from a consultancy office based abroad suggested lifetime Golden Visas could be obtained via unauthorised consulting entities. These claims are baseless and lack any legal standing.
Commitment to Transparency
The ICP reaffirmed its commitment to providing a transparent application environment, continuously enhancing services through official digital platforms only.
Legal Action Against Misinformation
Legal action will be taken against those spreading false information to exploit individuals wanting to reside in the UAE for profit.
Advice for Individuals
Individuals wishing to visit, live, or invest in the UAE should ignore inaccurate rumours and refrain from providing personal information or fees to unauthorised parties.
Verification of Procedures
The Authority advises individuals to verify procedures through official sources, either via the ICP’s website or by calling the call centre at 600522222, available 24/7.
